Looking at Aveline who was staring at the manor in the distance with a surprised look on her face, Xu Yun couldn't help but smile softly.
That's right.
Woolthorpe.
This is the destination where Xu Yun is taking Aveline by carriage today.
After all, in addition to the so-called authorities, their 'repaying favor' plan also needs to take Aveline's own situation into consideration.
After all, reality is not a novel. Xu Yun doesn't think that he can completely let this girl off with just a few words - in that case, he might as well change his name to Uzumaki Xu Yun or Saint Seiya Xu Yun.
If she wants to completely break her inner demon barrier, she needs to add a strong dose of medicine.
So today Xu Yun took Aveline to Woolthorpe, a village with the former residence of the Mavericks and Aisku families.
Mentioned it a long time ago.
Woolsthorpe is part of the town of Grantham in Lincolnshire, which is north of London. The distance from London is 223 kilometers - this refers to the distance, not the straight-line distance.
Because Grantham is located in southern Lincolnshire, it is even closer to London.
About 210 kilometers.
The University of Cambridge is 99 kilometers north of London, and exactly in the same direction as Woolsthorpe.
Therefore, the actual distance from Cambridge University to Woolsthorpe is just over 100 kilometers.
In addition, Xu Yun was able to ensure that he would arrive at Woolsthorpe on time and return to school that night, as the carriage was driving at full speed. Therefore, some of the 18-forbidden thoughts of spending the night could be given up.
Then Xu Yun turned his attention to the manor not far away, turned around, and said to Aveline who was in a daze:
"Classmate Aveline, let's go over and take a look?"
Aveline was silent for a moment and nodded slightly:
"good."
So soon.
Two footprints appeared side by side on the snow.
After Mavericks was successfully canonized, his former home in Woolsthorpe was naturally preserved. Like Professor Lucas's office in Trinity College, it has become a holy place in the hearts of Mavericks admirers.
Today, there are several housekeepers sent by the British royal family to be stationed outside Maverick's former residence for a long time. They are responsible for guiding tourists and repairing the house on weekdays.
However, this kind of attention is limited to Mavericks' former residence itself. The Escu family manor one kilometer away from Mavericks' house does not enjoy such preferential treatment.
Because it is different from a calf that has no heirs left.
Before Aveline was born, the Aisku family was flourishing, at least it was still reproducing normally - but now this generation is suffering and getting sick, leaving Aveline as the only survivor.
.
Therefore, in the years when nothing happened to the Aisku family, this manor has always been their residence.
If it has been inhabited for a long time, it will naturally not be used as a former residence for outsiders to visit.
Seeing that the manor in front of him was getting closer and closer, Xu Yun also felt curious in his heart, so he said to Aveline:
"Speaking of which, classmate Aveline, are you familiar with this manor?"
Aveline was silent for a moment, nodded slightly, and then shook her head.
Then, without waiting for Xu Yun to speak again, she took the initiative to explain:
"The Fourth Anglo-Dutch War at the end of the last century killed more than half of the adult men of the Aisku family. Later, they encountered a plague. By my father's generation, there were less than ten direct members of the Aisku family.
"
"So my father chose to move away from Woolsthorpe after marrying my mother and went to do business elsewhere. I grew up in Brighton."
"If I remember correctly, I only came back here twice or three times before I became an adult..."
"My father and mother also passed away due to illness a few years ago. I became the only direct descendant of the Escu family. Naturally, the inheritance included this manor."
"I have been here a few times in the past few years when I was studying in Cambridge, but mainly just to clean the house. The number of times is not too small, but I can't say that I am very familiar with it."
Only then did Xu Yun feel enlightened.
Students who know history should know this.
Britain and the Netherlands, as European hegemons, have been dissatisfied with each other since the Cromwell era.
So from 1652 to 1784, four wars broke out abruptly.
At that time, when Xu Yun was explaining why the "Fat Fish" did not return to England, the excuse he used was the obstruction of shipping routes caused by the Anglo-Dutch War.
But unlike the lies he made up, what Aveline told was the true past.
War plus disease.
This is a force majeure force at any time and can easily kill a family.
While talking.
The two of them also arrived at the entrance of the manor.
Looking at the fence covered with snow and the lonely scene in the courtyard, Xu Yun suddenly felt a sense of emotion in his heart.
Think back to the beginning.
He was also standing in this position, visiting the Escu family with Mavericks.
At that time, William Escue was standing in the cowshed on his right, preparing fodder. After seeing Xu Yun, he warmly accepted him.
Xu Yun was still deeply impressed by that man who was extremely kind and honest despite being a businessman.
Later, Lisa Askew walked out of the house. This girl finally did not waste her love in this timeline, and successfully followed Mavericks to the end of her life...
Now nearly two hundred years have passed.
The original cowshed has long since disappeared, and the style of the door has also been changed, obviously it has been renovated.
Although the exterior of the house looks dilapidated, the reason for this dilapidation is probably just the neglect and neglect in the past few years and has nothing to do with the past.
Aveline then pushed open the fence and led Xu Yun into the courtyard.
The courtyard is covered with thick white snow, but if you look carefully, you can still see the original appearance of some things.
I don’t know if I am interested.
After entering the courtyard.
Aveline seemed to have more energy, and she introduced Xu Yun while walking around:
"Look, this is the wheel of a cart...this is a sickle...this is...oh, this is a stone mill?"
Only in front of a certain location.
Aveline stretched out her hand and gently swept away a piece of snow, revealing a millstone.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Aveline looked at the thick stone mill in front of her, with a hint of reminiscence in her eyes:
"Luo Feng, I remembered that when I was a child, I had my finger crushed by this stone grinder."
"At that time, when the adults were not paying attention, I wanted to take off the millstone and play with it. Fortunately, my father held the millstone in time, otherwise my little finger would have suffered."
Xu Yun was slightly startled. Does this girl still have such a naughty side?
But then I thought about it, his performance was similar when he was a child, and he was often played in mixed doubles.
For example, when he was in elementary school, he couldn't tell the difference between underwear and shorts. In his composition, he once wrote a sentence like "Dad wore short sleeves on the upper body and underwear on the lower body, and rode a motorcycle to pick me up."...
His eyes returned to reality.
This manor has been empty for more than ten years. Some of the utensils are still intact due to their materials or storage locations. Xu Yun and his wife have not encountered the situation in some novels where they will turn to ashes when touched.
Evelin's mentality was obviously different today. After walking around in the courtyard, she suddenly took the initiative and said to Xu Yun:
"Luo Feng, let's go inside and have a look?"
Xu Yun was stunned again and asked in surprise:
"Why, did you bring the key?"
When he walked through the gate just now, he observed that the entrance gate was locked, and it was obvious that he couldn't get in without the key.
Could it be that Evelyn, the girl, was possessed by Gou Sheng today and brought the key to the old house with her?
But what surprised him was.
Aveline shook her head decisively:
"No, why should I carry such a bunch of keys with me?"
Then without waiting for Xu Yun to speak, she took Xu Yun to the gate, and then...
Picked up "Classic Physics" and slammed it on the lock.
Xu Yun: "?!"
Bang bang bang——
This "Classic Physics" is wrapped in a metal shell, and even Sylph's little head can't withstand its heavy blow, let alone an already old lock.
So it took less than half a minute.
This lock opens the heart with the power of knowledge.
Aveline held the other end of the lock and shook it a few times, then easily took it off.
The girl threw the lock out of the door and pushed the door open with the corner of "Classic Physics" in her hand:
"OK, done."
Xu Yun:
"...."
Due to its age, this room is not equipped with lighting. Daily lighting mainly relies on candles or oil lamps.
However, it was only early three in the afternoon, and the sun outside was very bright, and I could see what was going on inside the house without a light source.
"The Point Guard Is Here"
I don’t know if it’s because Aveline occasionally comes to clean the house.
After entering the house, the situation inside was far from as bad as Xu Yun imagined:
There are no spider webs covering the corners of walls and the bottoms of furniture.
There is no dust flying in the sky after being illuminated by the light path.
There are no flies, mice or cockroaches.
Most of the furniture is covered with a layer of black cloth, and there is some accumulated moisture smell, but it is not strong.
But just like the decoration outside the house, the layout of the living room now is completely different from what Xu Yun remembered.
Beside the sofa.
Aveline re-covered an area that was not covered by black cloth and said to Xu Yun:
"I just cleaned this place in April last year, so it's still relatively clean."
"By the way, classmate Luo Feng, you haven't been here before, right?"
Xu Yun shook his head naturally:
"I have only visited Sir Isaac Newton's former residence, here... I have indeed not been here in the past twenty-four years."
Aveline raised her eyelids and glanced at him, focusing on his age:
"So you are 24 years old? I thought you were about the same age as me."
Xu Yun nodded calmly:
"Well, I'm 24 years old and a graduate student."
Then he set his sights on the fireplace opposite the sofa, where an oil painting was hanging.
There are approximately fifteen or six figures in the painting, standing in two rows. Although the portrait is somewhat distorted, Xu Yun still recognized the shadows of many familiar people:
"Is this...a family photo of the Escue family?"
Aveline nodded, pointed at the figure in the middle of the portrait and introduced:
"This is the ancestor's father, William Askew. Next to him holding arms are Sir Isaac Newton and Lisa Askew. Next..."
Aveline moved her fingertips slightly upward, pointed at the two people on the far left in the second row and said:
"This is our ancestor Leilani Askew and her husband, Dudley Graham. This portrait was painted when Leilani was 28 years old."
"Leilani?"
When Xu Yun heard this, he couldn't help but stay in the area of Lilani and his wife for a few more seconds.
Lilani in the portrait is still not tall, but his appearance is completely different from the naughty kid in Xu Yun's impression. He is virtuous and dignified, as if he is another person.
Lilani's husband is slightly taller than her, seems a bit thin, and has a mustache at the corners of his mouth.
Watch this scene.
Xu Yun's heart suddenly relaxed and gave him a sense of comfort, as if a heavy burden had been lifted off him.
In the deduction results of the novice task.
Leilani dropped out of school at the age of 15 and went out to work. At the age of 19, he was shipwrecked on the way to the Netherlands and eventually passed away.
And with the sending of his letter, Leilani's trajectory was successfully changed to the current situation.
This is really great...
Then Xu Yun looked at the family portrait carefully for a while, and vaguely recognized Mrs. William, sisters Elura and Andrea:
Elula, Andrea and Mavericks Lilani were all standing in the second row. Except for Mavericks, there were one to several children or young people standing in front of them.
If nothing unexpected happens.
These children should be their descendants.
Mrs. William sat in the middle of the portrait with Mr. William, with her hands on her knees and a gentle yet majestic smile.
But just watch and watch.
A doubt appeared in Xu Yun's eyes, and he pointed at the portrait and said:
"Wait a minute, classmate Aveline, who is that person sitting next to Mr. William?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "It seems that his status is not low. Is he a relative of the Escu family?"
The person Xu Yun was talking about was sitting on the right hand side of William Escue. He was a young man in his early twenties, with a long waist and a face that looked like the donkey of the old Su family.
"?"
Faced with Xu Yun's doubts, Aveline had an incomprehensible expression on her face:
"Why, Luo Feng, don't you recognize me?"
A question mark appeared on Xu Yun's face simultaneously, and he asked:
"Why should I recognize this person?"
"Because he is a fat fish."
"Oh, it turns out he is Yue...fuck, wait a minute!"
Xu Yun subconsciously answered half of the sentence, and then reacted suddenly, staring at Aveline with a ghostly expression on his face:
"Classmate Aveline, what are you talking about?"
"This shoehorned face is me... my ancestor Fat Fish?"
Aveline nodded naturally:
"Yes, this is the portrait of Mr. Fat Fish painted by Sir Newton and Ancestor Lilani together."
"In order to show his help to the Escue family, ancestor William specially asked the painter to add it to this family portrait, and the person sitting in the main seat was still there."
"Oh, by the way, this is also the illustration of Mr. Fat Fish that is currently used in "History of Modern Physics"."
Xu Yun slapped his forehead:
"?????"
Damn it, I will have a clear name for the rest of my life...
A little less than half a minute later.
Xu Yun sighed leisurely, but a smile filled with reminiscence and emotion appeared at the corner of his mouth.
As expected of you, Maverick...
As a physicist with strong hands-on skills, Maverick’s ability in drawing goes without saying.
For example, he once drew a sketch for his teacher Barrow, and Barrow hung it in his office.
Although Xu Yun's Eastern appearance is more graceful than that of Westerners, no matter how distorted the portrait drawn by Xiao Niu is, it will not lead to plastic surgery and become Zhu Bazhong...
So it's obvious.
This was a job deliberately done by Mavericks, a "revenge" for leaving Xu Yun without saying goodbye.
how to say......
This is really cool.
However, compared to the "fat fish" appearance, his position in the portrait is the Escu family's true feelings for him.
Just at this time.
A ray of light came in from outside the house and hit the portrait.
The light was refracted by the glass frame that framed the portrait. At the same time, I don't know if it was due to the material of the portrait, but there were some subtle fluctuations in the perception of the entire portrait.
It seems like...
The entire Aisku family spanned more than 150 years and paid tribute to Xu Yun...
........
Evelin then led Xu Yun up and down the stairs, visiting the bedrooms and the small attic on the upper floor.
Although the traces of time can be clearly seen in several rooms, the layout is still far from the layout in Xu Yun's impression.
Especially after seeing that family photo and releasing my emotions.
Rather than remembering the past, Xu Yun was visiting an ordinary former residence.
Half an hour passed.
Xu Yun followed Aveline and left the room.
After walking out of the door.
"call......"
The two exhaled at the same time, and two white mist spread in the air.
See this situation.
Xu Yun and Aveline couldn't help but look at each other and laughed in unison.
Then Xu Yun suddenly thought of something, picked up a ball of snow from the ground, and asked:
"Classmate Aveline, have you ever had a snowball fight?"
"Snow battle?"
Aveline shook her head slightly:
"I have been very strict with my upbringing since I was a child. I have built snowmen myself, but I have never had any snowball fights... Huh?!"
Before Aveline finished speaking, Xu Yun put the ball of snow on top of her head and let go——
In an instant.
Aveline's head, neck, and shoulders all turned into snow white.
Xu Yun ran a few steps away, waved to her, and said with a smile:
"Classmate Aveline, there is no one around now, how about a snow showdown between Fat Fish and Newton's descendants?"
"Let me tell you, there is no store like this after passing this village."
Aveline reached out and touched the snow on her hair, and some fragments suddenly appeared in her mind.
"Mr. Hahn, are Aveline free today? We are here to have a snowball fight with her!"
"Sorry Kana, Aveline has to study today."
"Well, that's a shame..."
That year, Aveline was four years old.
.......
"Dad, Merry Christmas, can I go have a snowball fight today?"
"No, what if I hurt my hand in the snowball fight? Your hands are used to write knowledge, understand?"
That year, Aveline was six years old.
.........
"Come on, let's go, it snowed heavily yesterday, we can have a snowball fight today!"
"Look, it's the descendant of Sir Isaac Newton!"
"Ignore her, ignore her. Her father is very scary. Last time Lillian played with her on the swing for a while after school, her father went to the principal and complained."
That year, Aveline was nine years old.
........
"Classmate Aveline, your parents are now deceased, so the Royal Society has appointed me as your temporary guardian and also the principal of your junior high school. My name is Best Taddei. This is your schedule, your
The course will be customized and taught by a dedicated person, do you understand?"
That year, Aveline was ten years old.
........
Scenes of memory scenes flashed through Aveline's mind, causing her to unconsciously tighten the snow cube in her hand.
It wasn't until the ice-cold chill came from the melted snow water that Aveline came back to her senses.
At this moment.
It seems that it's not just the snow that's melting.
Then she was silent for a few seconds, put the "Classic Physics" that she would always hold in her arms on the ground, and held a ball of snow in each hand.
then......
He threw it towards Xu Yun.
Snapped--
Snow chunks exploded on Xu Yun's shoulders, and the air on the snow suddenly became less viscous and gradually began to fly.
"Hit me!"
"watch out!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Don't run!"
Two figures jumped quickly on the snow.
Even though it was Aveline's first time playing in the snow, this girl walked with a book weighing several kilograms every day, and her wrist and arm strength were not that low.
At the same time.
As a Hu Jianwang, Xu Yun has not seen snow many times in his life.
Even if there is, it's often just a thin layer of light snow, making it impossible to have a snowball fight.
So after a few rounds.
The two of them actually fought back and forth, pecking each other like standard rookies.
that's all.
About half an hour passed.
Xu Yun, who hid behind a tree stump, glanced at the sky, waved his hand to a place ten meters away, and shouted:
"Classmate Aveline, it's almost time, let's stop and go back?"
A few seconds later.
Aveline's figure appeared next to another tree stump:
"good."
Seeing this, Xu Yun clapped his hands, stood up from the ground, and walked towards Aveline.
Now that he has reached this point, his plan regarding Aveline is almost finished.
What Xu Yun will do next...
It is to ‘repay the favor’ to those so-called authorities.
In fact, from the perspective of future generations.
Today, apart from purely theoretical researchers, the other 80% of the authorities in these classical systems can be regarded as cancer adhering to the natural sciences.
Look at how Lobachevsky was persecuted after he published non-Euclidean geometry.
There is also wheat, which is also miserable.
Even after JJ Thomson discovered the electron, people like Schuster still firmly refused to believe the result, claiming that the world is only macroscopic and not microscopic.
In fact, classical mathematics these days, like many so-called experts in later generations, has been linked to political economy.
Do you call those experts in later generations who frequently make idiotic remarks stupid or stupid?
Maybe, maybe one or two are really stupid or stupid.
But most of them are pretending to be confused - if you really talk about IQ, these experts are at least higher than 80% of ordinary people.
The purpose of their pretending to be dead and stupid is for profit and to represent certain interest groups.
This is true in 2022, and it was true in the scientific community in 1850.
Classical mathematics.
Classical physics.
Classical Chemistry.
One ancient word can explain everything.
Therefore, what Xu Yun has to do next is to create a really big event to make these so-called authorities doubt themselves.
So the next step in the plan is... hmm?
Xu Yun was thinking as he walked, but soon, out of the corner of his eye, he noticed Aveline's behavior was a bit strange:
I saw that the girl's hands were pinned behind her back, and she looked like an old cadre in her fifties walking along.
After the two meet.
Xu Yun couldn't help but nudged his chin towards her and asked:
"Classmate Aveline, what are you...?"
Aveline was about to answer, but just as she was about to speak, her face suddenly froze and she looked to Xu Yun's right rear:
"Huh? What is that?"
Xu Yun subconsciously turned his head.
All he saw was an open field behind him, with nothing above it.
And just when he was about to ask Aveline what he saw, a chill suddenly came from the top of his head.
at the same time.
There are also some sticky small particles sliding down on the face, accompanied by a very strange smell.
Xu Yun was familiar with this smell, it was called...
